In a few words

Treat yourself to a rejuvenating immersion in the heart of the Sierra de Guara , a protected nature reserve in northern Spain. Between wild rivers , oak and pine forests , high plateaus and abandoned villages , this authentic territory invites a profound return to the essentials.

This retreat combines hikes in nature , swimming in natural pools , and time dedicated to mindfulness through physical practices and outdoor meditation . Each day is designed to slow down , refine perceptions, and cultivate conscious presence to oneself and the environment.

Walking becomes a true medium for inner exploration through Sensory Martial Art , a gentle and relational practice inspired by Aikido and Perceptive Pedagogy . The slow and deep movements promote grounding , fluidity , and harmonization of body and mind, while calming the mind.

Accessible to all , without prerequisites, this stay offers a subtle balance between pleasure , discovery , introspection and sharing , to leave deeply regenerated .
